The load table below is from the October 93, No. 8 issue of TVHM.   The article by Steve Timm is titled 'VHA Custom Gun #1'.  Mr Timm tested the first rifle in the  VHA  custom gun series. The rifle was built by Darrell Holland, using a Remington short action, 24" Pac-Nor 1-8" twist barrel, Jewell trigger & McMillian benchrest stock. It included a muzzle brake, titanium firing pin, single-shot adaptor, Warne rings and a Leupold BR-24X scope customized by Premier Reticle. It was this article that first sparked my interest in the 6mm Ackley.

The loads listed were safe in the rifle in which they were fired. Do not assume that they would be safe in yours.
Start with 6mm Remington loads from a current load manual and work up.

Bullet	Charge	Powder	Velocity	Extreme Spread	Standard Deviation	Group	Comments
70 Nos Btip	50.0	H 4350	3760	52	17	.50	Near max, but OK. Accurate
70 Nos Btip	52.0	IMR 4831	3797	12	5	.54
95 Nos Btip	43.0	V-150	3152	28	9	.61
95 Nos Btip	45.0	H 4350	3087	52	15	.52	Mild Pressures. Accurate
95 Nos Btip	46.0	H 4350	3180	43	12	.56	Near Max., but good case life
95 Nos Btip	51.0	IMR 7828	3282	40	11	.43	Steve's pet load, mild pressure, super accurate
95 Nos Btip	52.0	IMR 7828	3322	28	7	.51	Nearing max.  Highest velocity with the 95
109 VLD	41.0	V-150	3025	38	15	1.99
109 VLD	42.0	V-150	3085	7	3	1.79	MAXIMUM
109 VLD	44.0	H4350	3050	58	21	1.29
109 VLD	49.0	IMR 7828	3161	17	6	1.32

All loads listed were with the bullets making contact with the lands.
The Hammett 109 VLD bullet was deemed to be too long (1.25") and heavy for the 8 inch twist barrel.
Mr. Timm reported a .410" 200 yard group, and one at .450" with the load of 51.0 IMR 7828 and 95 Nosler Balistic Tip.
